As expected, Marion and Joseph are joining the film franchise and will both be playing newly introduced characters!

The cast of The Dark Knight Rises is finally coming together with the news that Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be joining the cast in roles that are new to the popular comic. According to our sister site Deadline, Marion will be playing Miranda Tate, a “Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne” while Joseph will be playing John Blake, “a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.”

This will reunite Marion and Joseph with director Christopher Nolan, who they both worked with on the film Inception.

Filming may be a bit tricky for Marion who is currently expecting her first child this June, especially as filming is expected to begin right around that time in London.
